Southampton podcast series with Regrarians

In 2015, we collaborated with Darren Doherty from Regrarians to document some of our key learnings and experiences during the start-up phase of their pastured poultry enterprise. This is a great starting point for anyone thinking about starting their own regenerative, pastured enterprise, and includes discussion about resources, approvals (particularly for a micro-abattoir or similar facility), labour options and markets.

The REX is a must and starting point for anyone to create their own farm plan, and is exceptional value. The course is run by Darren Doherty and the Regrarians Team of world-leading regenerative ag practitioners. It is super comprehensive and a fantastic, connected community. We cannot recommend highly enough. There is also a payment plan available 🙂

We devoured this podcast from Darby Simpson – with Diego Footer from Creative Destruction (formerly Permaculture Voices)! It’s a straight up and practical series for anyone looking to start their own regeneratively farmed enterprise. The podcast follows Darby’s farm business week by week for a growing season (April to November). Enjoyable and easy listening.
